AATE's 32nd annual conference will be held in dynamic and vibrant New York City from August 1-5, 2019. In a city known for its culture and art, conference attendees will explore how artists, educators, and scholars can be responsive and effective in the current socio-political climate. AATE Members are uniquely poised to be a force for action and empathy building at this pivotal moment when the need for self-expression and dialogue is so palpable. The conference will provide a place for the theater education community to come together and spend time discussing the current issues through curated sessions and facilitated conversations. Join us in 2019 to question, to learn, to celebrate - and to Activate AATE.
